However, the FDA regulates food and drugs. Supplements qualify as neither.\u202f\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In fact, the FDA has very little authority over what goes on in the supplement industry, which is unregulated. Furthermore, the FDA can only inspect a supplement company\u2019s manufacturing process if they have reasonable evidence indicating that its products are harming people, meaning that people need to be harmed before the FDA can take action.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Supplement manufacturers aren\u2019t even required to prove that their products are safe for human consumption. They are only required to ensure that the supplement bottles contain the ingredients listed on the label. Even more troubling, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsday.com\/news\/health\/fda-official-70-of-supplement-companies-violate-agency-rules-f93717\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">report from the FDA<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> estimates that only 70% of supplement companies do that.\u202f\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This lack of regulation can and has led to inconsistencies throughout the supplement industry. In many cases the lack of regulation has only led to harmless mislabeling with ingredients that aren\u2019t dangerous. While this is unfortunate for consumers because it essentially wastes their money, it won\u2019t cause them any physical harm.
